Week 2 · The Gurus begin · Day 10
Guru Angad Dev Ji & Gurmukhi
Guru Angad Dev Ji shaped and shared the Gurmukhi script so ordinary people — not just scholars — could read the Guru’s words. Every letter you trace this summer is his gift.
Today's idea
The second Guru gave us Gurmukhi — the script we read Gurbani in.
